Mercato Metropolitano

Before this site became a destination for street food, it served as a vast industrial paper distribution warehouse. For decades, the structure operated as a distribution hub for the Daily Mirror newspaper, where thousands of copies were bundled and loaded onto trucks every night. You are standing in a space once defined by the rhythmic hum of printing presses and the mechanical sorting of news, which transitioned from a site of physical industrial labor into a hub of international culinary exchange.
